Canucks goaltender Eddie Lack had an excellent game, making 28 saves in the, 4-1, victory over the Maple Leafs.

sportsnetwork.com

Impact

The only goal he did allow was a penalty shot, so he was very close to a shutout. Lack has been a pretty solid pickup for owners who needed to replace Ryan Miller. Lack has allowed three goals just once in his last six starts.

He has not played since Dec. 17, as Ryan Miller is clearly atop the depth chart in Vancouver. Lack, however could make for a solid daily play, as he has a 2.59 GAA and .916 save percentage through 11 games.

"If Ryan is our guy who is going to play the majority of the games, I think Eddie can look to him as a mentor," Benning said. "I think he can continue to grow as a goalie. Goaltending is a hard position. Goalies develop later. I don't think you know what you have with a goalie until they are 26 or 27." Lack is 26 and he played the first 41 games of his NHL career for the Canucks last season. He has two years left on his current deal before he becomes an unrestricted free agent and Miller is signed for the next three seasons.

Vancouver GM Jim Benning is open to upgrading his crease situation going into next year, so Eddie Lack and Jacob Markstrom could face some competition.

Impact

"We're going to look at every avenue we have to make our team competitive. Vancouver is a big-market city, we've got a passionate fan base, [and] our owners want to win," Benning told Sportsnet 590 The Fan. "I know they have a lot of confidence in Eddie Lack. For a first-year goalie last year, he had a good season, and we hope that he can take it to the next step this year." The Canucks could use a seasoned and proven netminder, but they would also like to add a scorer up front so a $2.35 million cap hit for its goaltending tandem might be an attractive option. Still, there will be plenty of names available in the open market this summer, including Ryan Miller, Jonas Hiller, Ilya Bryzgalov, Tim Thomas, Alex Stalock and Thomas Greiss.

Lack got a lot of work after the Canucks traded Roberto Luongo. Lack's also expected to start the 2014-15 campaign as the Canucks' starting goaltender and he plans to stay in Vancouver over the summer to train.

It was Lack's 19th straight start and his fourth loss in his last five games. The loss ended Vancouver's playoff hopes and maybe the Canucks can now give a chance for Jacob Markstrom to start a game. Lack now has a 16-17-5 record with a 2.41 goals-against average and .912 save percentage.

Lack gave up five goals on 21 shots in a night he'd easily like to forget. Despite his worst performance of the season, Lack has put together a decent season with a 2.41 goals-against average and .912 save percentage.

Lack's three-game winning streak came to an end, but you can't blame Lack for that. He now has a 15-14-5 record with a 2.34 goals-against average and .915 save percentage. He is the probable starter for the Canucks on Saturday when they play against the Anaheim Ducks.

Vancouver's playoff chances are thin, as it is four points off the wild card with more games played than any other team fighting for a playoff berth. Lack and the Canucks have now won three in a row. He has a 2.33 goals-against average and .915 save percentage this season.

Lack, who was making his 12th straight start, was forced to make his best three saves on Patric Hornqvist, including a couple of great point-blank chances late in the first period.

He's now 12-13-4 with a .914 save percentage this season. While he's up-and-down, he should get plenty of starts, so he's a solid second and strong third goalie option.

Lack was great for 40 minutes against the New York Islanders on Monday...then the incident happened. Although he can't be completely blamed for the Islanders' seven-goal third period, he certainly played a large role in it. Canucks coach John Tortorella felt it was important to get Lack back out there following one of the worst 20-minute stretches in the history of the franchise and given that they've traded away Cory Schneider and Roberto Luongo, it's not like Vancouver has a particularly appealing alternative goaltender anyways.

Eddie Lack was sent to an early exit in Vancouver's 6-1 loss to Dallas Thursday night.

Impact

Lack lasted just two periods in this game, surrendering five goals on 17 shots against. Newly-acquired Jacob Markstrom saw his first action as a member of the Canucks when he allowed one goal on five shots in the final frame.

Lack became Vancouver's No. 1 goalie after the Canucks traded Roberto Luongo to the Florida Panthers earlier in the day. Lack has been solid lately, but he has lost four of his last five games, because the Canucks can't simply score. He now has 9-10-2 record with a 2.05 GAA and .926 save percentage. His former team-mate from Sweden, Jacob Markstrom, was traded to Vancouver so it seems like Lack will be playing a lot for the rest of this season.

Lack turned aside all 20 shots he faced versus St. Louis Wednesday night. The decision to start him is likely a combination of rewarding him after a shutout and allowing Roberto Luongo to recover from the timezone difference after spending the Olympics in Sochi.

The rookie backup was at his best when he made 11 saves in the second period, but needed three stops in the third to secure his third shutout of the season. He now has a 9-8-3 record with a 2.11 goals-against average and .924 save percentage.

Roberto Luongo went on Sunday and did not have the best of games although the Canucks got the two points with a 5-4 overtime win. Lack is 8-6-3 with a 2.18 GAA and a .922 save percentage. He last played on January 16th.

Lack played a good game after his terrible outing against Anaheim last night. Lack now has an 8-6-3 record with a 2.18 goals-against average and .922 save percentage. He will continue to start for the Canucks as long as Roberto Luongo is injured.

Lack was pulled in the second period for rookie Joacim Eriksson, who was making his NHL debut. The first shot he faced was Nick Bonino's slapper that made its way through traffic and into the net at 6:00 to make it 4-0. Eriksson allowed six goals on 31 shots, not a great way to start in the NHL. The Canucks will play again on Thursday and Lack should get a start again.

Starting for the eighth time in nine games because of injuries to No.1 Roberto Luongo, the rookie goalie was Vancouver's best player early. He now has a 8-3-3 record with a 2.19 GAA and .922 save percentage.

No real surprise there given that Roberto Luongo is dealing with an ankle injury. Lack turned aside 45 of 49 shots in Vancouver's 4-3 defeat on Sunday.

Luongo was a relatively late scratch in the game because of an upper-body injury he suffered on Saturday night. Lack excelled in this one but gave up the winning goal to Corey Perry with only two seconds left in overtime.

Lack saw his record fall down to a 7-3-1. He also has a 2.02 goals-against average and .924 save percentage. He is a solid fantasy choice at the moment, because he is starting all of the games for the Canucks while Roberto Luongo is injured.

After a shutout on Sunday against Calgary, Lack couldn't save the game for the Canucks. He now has a 7-2-1 record with a 1.84 goals-against average and .929 save percentage. He will keep starting for the Canucks as long as Roberto Luongo is injured.

Impact

Lack is now 7-2-0 in his first season with the Canucks. His GAA has improved to 1.74 and his save percentage is now an impressive .933.

"I've always thought I was capable of playing in this league and I've worked hard for a long time to get here," Lack, 25, said as the Canucks returned to practice following their four-day Christmas break. "Roberto is our No. 1 but now that he's out, it's time for me to step up. I'm just trying to take it day-by-day and not think too much about where I've been. I've only been thinking about what I can do to get better." Canucks coach John Tortorella says he has confidence in Lack, as well. "We have total confidence in his play. So he steps in. I'm not sure what's going to happen with Roberto but Lacker plays Sunday and we'll see where we go from there. Obviously he has given us flexibility in certain situations and picked up points for us, which was very important in the first half of the year." The Canucks, on a 9-1-1 run, have improved dramatically on defense since early season. They have allowed 17 goals in their last 11 outings.

Lack came in late in the first period for starting goalie Roberto Luongo, who left with an injury after he was hit in the leg during a goalmouth collision. Luongo had steered away six shots.

Part of the reason the Canucks traded Cory Schneider was because of their belief in the 25-year-old netminding prospect. His AHL numbers have generally been great, with only 2012-13 (7-4-1 with a 3.00 GAA and .899 save percentage) lagging behind a bit. The Swede has the large frame NHL teams hope for in a goalie.

Eddie Lack is accepting of the idea that he might not get a lot of playing time behind Roberto Luongo.

"I haven't played in (nine) months, I'm sort of used to it," Lack said in reference to his recovery from a hip operation. Although Lack is the favorite to secure the number two job, he's not expected to have much fantasy value in 2013-14.

He has a one-way contract for the 2013-14 campaign at $850,000, while Joacim Eriksson owns a two-way deal. Lack also feels ready to compete after missing the last part of the 2012-13 season following hip surgery. "I feel there was a lot of negative that came with my injury and everything but I kind of feel there was a lot of positive, too," he said. "The last six months I had a chance to really work on stuff that I didn't really have a chance to work on before. I feel stronger and better out there than I have ever felt."

Eddie Lack will battle Joacim Eriksson for the backup job in Vancouver once the Canucks deal either Roberto Luongo or Cory Schneider.

While it had been thought for over a year that Luongo would be the odd man out, it appears that trading Schneider will be a lot easier to do and definitely get a bigger return. Lack missed the latter half of the 2013 season after undergoing hip surgery but will be 100 percent for training camp.

Vancouver Canucks recall Eddie Lack from AHL Chicago.

Lack underwent season-ending hip surgery in January, which might've thrown a monkey wrench into any plans to trade Roberto Luongo during the season. Lack was recalled along with a host of other Wolves after Chicago missed the AHL playoffs. He obviously won't play and instead will tag along with the Canucks and get a chance to experience the playoff atmosphere.

Before getting hurt, Lack had been expected to back up Cory Schneider once Roberto Luongo was finally traded. His surgery not only throws a wrench into those immediate plans, but also complicates who will back up Schneider at the start of next season. While we don't expect something like this to keep Vancouver from dealing Luongo, it certainly doesn't help and it's possible the Canucks will now seek a backup goalie in any potential trade.

Eddie Lack's (groin) injury problems could affect the Vancouver Canucks in their dealings with Roberto Luongo.

If the Canucks deal Luongo, then they will likely have to pick up a backup goaltender as Lack will be unable to be the man. Brian Brust could be in line as he is a UFA and has been outstanding for nearby Abbotsford of the AHL although they could go for a more experienced backup like Dan Ellis or Ty Conklin. Lack has been out of action since late November with the groin injury and is likely to now go to Vancouver so the training staff can look at him.
